Re: Pale Moon with GStreamer
The tagging says mobile; so this would be mostly interesting for mobile platforms which I don't build for.
I'm unfamiliar with GStreamer, however - what support does it provide? is it stable on Windows?

Re: Pale Moon with GStreamer
H.264 content is already possible in Pale Moon!
First, grab the WMP plugin and install it according to the instructions found here
Then, grab the WMP HTML5 extender from here: With both the WMP plugin and the extender add-on installed, you can play HTML5 <video> tags that use H.264 as a codec through the WMP back-end. It's not native in the browser (it uses a bridge to Windows Media Player) but it still plays the media. Note: this probably won't work on anything but Windows 7!
To test, you can have a look at http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graph ... fault.html

Up...
Native support h264, mp3, GPU, etc, better than non-native plugin.
Firefox with GStreamer is stable.

Version 14

Firefox 14 has an optional GStreamer back-end for HTML5 video tag playback. This allows playback of H.264 if the codec is installed as a GStreamer plugin. GStreamer support is not enabled in the official builds, but can be enabled at compile time.

Re: Pale Moon with GStreamer
"+1" all you like, but until I have some data that this will actually be beneficial for desktop installations (and not mobile), I'm not including it - it would be redundant code.
The code seems to also just be a wrapper for a plugin (as stated above you need to have the codec installed as a GStreamer plugin) which still doesn't make it native, unlike Theora and WebM
